is there any process or to-do list for shutting down virtual RSA Replica Instance only?

We are going to perform upgrades on EXSi Host (version 5.5) and the host needs to be rebooted. So, we will need to shutdown the replica instance (version 8.2) for this upgrade. I would just like to make sure if there are any specific things I need to do before shutting down the replica instance?

The Operations Console only has the option to reboot the appliance, not shutdown.

So if you want to shutdown, you would need to access Linux, either via console or SSH, logon with the Operating System Account, typically called rsaadmin by default but it could be different, and I would first stop RSA services, then sudo su to root and shutdown now

  cd /opt/rsa/am/server

  ./rsaserv stop all

wait until all [SHUTDOWN]

  sudo su -

<same password as OS rsaadmin account>

# shutdown now                [or    shutdown -h now ]

Thanks for the reply Jay.
